    So I can use fieldgroups in my extension if I have a new table in my extension but I cannot use fieldgroups in my .al file that extends an existing table. Any suggestions on how to change the fields shown in a dropdownlist for an extended table?

    Hi
    julkifli33

    please try to use it like:

    fieldgroups
    {
    addlast(DropDown; "More Descriptive Option")
    {

    }
    }

    So, you can only add last Field(s) to existing fieldgroup.

    AddLast cant be used in certain tables.
    in my case i am using "Item Vendor" table

    You are 100% right!
    :D
    Who need that at all?
    Let's ask someone from Microsoft, what was the BIG/bug idea?

    Simply, they choose example with Table which comes with defined DropDown value.
    In your example Table "Item Vendor" comes without definition for DropDown.

    I think, you can use it only when you create brand new table.

    I found a solution.
    Fieldgorups must be placed after Keys declaration. If you would order in ascending or descending mode by some fileds, you need to create an additional key contains which fields would you order.
    I hope is helpfull to you
